Good!

Fortunately, the '!' is not recognized by JNOS2...
Many many thing are changed since the old DOS or
old linux versions: very TNX to Maiko!

So the correct form of 'forward.bbs' is:

--------
ve7ass
netrom assbbs
ve7ass
usa
--------

Some really old jnos2 docs indicated that '!' in the commands section of the forward.bbs file would force plain text forward from jnos.

Ditto.

Just switching off the FBB style, the JNOS2 will
function in the original WA7MBL style (clear text).
But you can back to 1980 years... :)
However, you may obtain the above by setting:

mbox fbb 0
